The Traffic Monitor is an open source smart city traffic monitoring software built with commodity hardware to capture holistic roadway usage. Utilizing edge machine learning object detection and Doppler radar, it counts pedestrians, bicycles, and cars, measures vehicle speeds, and captures environmental conditions.

With open source software and hardware, your imagination is the only limit on the questions you can answer and the data you can collect. Right-to-repair isn't just a tagline: You are encouraged and enabled to build, repair, improve, augment, reconstruct, and explore all the possibilities of this system. And when you have something new, share and contribute back to the community! Transparency and responsible AI are also core to the design.

Whether you build it or buy it, you have full ownership and control of the hardware and software. The community makes the Traffic Monitor better, so get involved using the links below. 

We believe empowering citizen scientists and transportation advocates to collect, share, and understand information about their public streets will improve community safety and quality of life. We want to lower the barrier to entry on obtaining and utilizing cutting-edge, industry-leading traffic monitoring technology to empower the next generation of roadway engineers and planning professionals to utilize AI and low-cost, cutting edge technology. This will help foster a more efficient and sustainable transportation ecosystem.

So Build It, Buy It, and start contributing!
